GLENDALE, Ariz. (AP) — The Cardinals held off the Vikings to win last night’s NFL game 23-20. In the closing seconds, with the Vikings trying to get in good position for a field goal, quarterback Teddy Bridgewater had the ball stripped from his arms. The Cards are 11-2 and have clinched a playoff berth.
ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — Cleveland has won 14 of its first 21 games this season and stands on top of the Eastern Conference standings. All that without their starting guards Kyrie (ky-REE’) Irving and Iman (EE’-mahn) Shumpert. That may change this evening as the Irving may be in the lineup for the first time this season as the Cavs play in Orlando.
